On paper the target was 7kg in 12 weeks. Her starting numbers gave her coach plenty to work with.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Weight:<\/b> 55kg<\/li>\n<li><b>Body fat:<\/b> 23.7%<\/li>\n<li><b>Goal:<\/b> lose 7kg, correct posture, gain lean muscle, healthier routine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The body-composition result<\/h2>\n<p>Over 12 weeks Cheryl&rsquo;s body composition changed across the board. Her weight came down to 48.6kg and her body fat dropped from 23.7% to 17.8%. The skinfold measurements told the same story, with most sites falling by half or more.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Weight:<\/b> 55kg &rarr; 48.6kg, 6.4kg lost<\/li>\n<li><b>Body fat:<\/b> 23.7% &rarr; 17.8%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Healthier from the inside out<\/h2>\n<p>The changes were not only on the outside. Over 11 weeks Cheryl&rsquo;s blood pressure fell from 133\/75 to 94\/61 and her resting heart rate dropped from 84 to 70. The healthier routine she came for showed up clearly in her health markers.<\/p>\n<h2>Stronger, too<\/h2>\n<p>Cheryl also set a performance goal: a proper barbell back squat. At the start she could manage 10 bodyweight squats but struggled with the barbell. After 11 weeks of structured strength work, she hit the milestone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"as-coach\">Coached at <b>ATP Personal Training<\/b> Hong Kong<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"as-disclaimer\"><b>*<\/b> Results shown are real ATP clients and reflect individual effort and circumstances.
